View Vintage 1955 The Italian Cookbook Maria Luisa Taglienti Random House Hardcover with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. This one has earned every wrinkle. The hardcover itself has a pale cloth binding with the Random House mark on the spine and a whimsical chef illustration on the front. Some cookbooks teach you how to cook. Others feel like they’ve already spent decades in the kitchen—and this one has the scars to prove it. Published by Random House in 1955, The Italian Cookbook by Maria Luisa Taglienti is a wonderfully mid-century collection of more than 420 Italian recipes adapted for the American home cook. Inside are recipes covering pasta, sauces, meats, vegetables, desserts and more, along with charming illustrations—including a terrific illustrated guide to different pasta shapes. The hardcover itself has a pale cloth binding with the Random House mark on the spine and a whimsical chef illustration on the front. Best of all, it still has its original colorful illustrated dust jacket, which gives this copy loads of vintage character. Condition: Vintage pre-owned condition. The hardcover book remains solid and usable with age-related wear and toning. Pages show expected aging but appear generally clean and readable. The original dust jacket is in poor/fair vintage condition with substantial edge wear, tears, chips, creasing and areas of paper loss, particularly around the spine and corners. Please review all photos carefully—they are an important part of the condition description and show the exact book you will receive. Why the Attic Mouse Rescued It: Because a 1950s Italian cookbook with more than 420 recipes, drawings of obscure pasta shapes, and a dust jacket that looks like it has actually lived near a pot of Sunday gravy was never getting left behind. This one has earned every wrinkle. A fun addition to a vintage cookbook collection, mid-century kitchen display, or the shelf of someone who still believes a good sauce shouldn't come from a jar. Every treasure has another story to tell. 🐭 Attic Mouse Mercantile Condition: Good. Category: Books & Magazines › Books.
